This is an extraordinary place. The Dieweg Cemetery has been officially disused since 1945, but locals could ask to be buried here until 1958.Fortunately, the municipality did not replace it with a luxurious residential complex, leaving the final resting place of yesterday’s locals untouched. With time, the place underwent a metamorphosis. Plants and insects took over, covering tombstones, ironwork and sculptures. The result? An enchanting atmosphere. The Jewish part of the cemetery is also worth a visit. Some of the funerary monuments are remarkable. Hergé's was buried here too, as he lived and died in Uccle. Discover this unique cemetery full of mystery.
